C1Difficulty 2/5

A lorry travels in ordinary service, without priority-vehicle status or a special testing permit. May it exceed the applicable maximum speed to overtake?

Correct answer

No, overtaking does not permit exceeding that limit.

No. Overtaking does not authorise exceeding the applicable limit. Obey vehicle and road limits, including lower posted limits, and reduce speed further when conditions require it. The question excludes special regimes; overtaking on a conventional road provides no permitted speed increase.
